radsailor Posted July 16, 2012 #26 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Funny! We booked a Celebrity Suite on our first TA and had to book another one for the one we took in April:) We just cried when we had to leave our "little house". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhughey Posted July 16, 2012 #27 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Glad to hear it was all it's cracked up to be! I am very much looking forward to experiencing Blu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick IL. Posted July 16, 2012 #28 Share Posted July 16, 2012 We've done it twice, once on Eclipse and once on ML. Will do it a third time on on Eclipse. I can't go back.... Our fear is we want to do Hawaii, currently Centruy is the only X ship doing that...but wait...NO AQUA CLASS ON CENTURY! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud_curly Posted July 16, 2012 #29 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I will be thinking of you as I reunite with aqua class next Sunday..... it's so blue in Blu...I'll just have to deal with it.... LOVE IT! We just took our son with us on Summit, and it was painful being in CC after AQ and Blu. To say we missed Blu was an understatement, and we were amazed at those in AQ who said they preferred the MDR. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxcarden Posted July 16, 2012 #30 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Having just booked AQ, when I saw this, my heart skipped a beat or two. Well played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard&JohnSTX Posted July 16, 2012 #32 Share Posted July 16, 2012 We've done it twice, once on Eclipse and once on ML. Will do it a third time on on Eclipse. I can't go back....Our fear is we want to do Hawaii, currently Centruy is the only X ship doing that...but wait...NO AQUA CLASS ON CENTURY! :( We spent 23 nights in Aqua class last fall on the Silhouette and loved it. So I was a little concerned about the 15 night cruise to Hawaii we had booked on the Century for last April and having to dine in the MDR. No worries the food was very good in the MDR - try the new lobster tail - really great, and we also liked the Aqua Spa Cafe for lunch and breakfast - it is a larger space than on the S class ships! That said we are on the Reflection this fall and recently took advantage of some price reductions to upgrade to Aqua - it really is worth it - especially when the price is right!

cherylroslyn Posted July 16, 2012 #33 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Aqua Class is the worst thing that has ever happened to me on a cruise. Now that I have experienced it, I cannot book anything else. Nothing compares. Yes, I am hooked. Celebrity has my money from now on. Nice title!!!! I was just about to grab the "jiffy pop" and a flame retardant suit and wait for the the flames to start!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perico1206 Posted July 16, 2012 #34 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Aqua Class is worth every penny, Blu is fabulous...we love it for breakfast and the staff is wonderful. I also adore the Persian Gardens and the shower upgrade. We tried going back with the Millie before she was redone this spring, no comparison. Blu rocks!!

td1356 Posted August 31, 2012 #35 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Could you all suggest the best Aqua Suite on the Reflections. I am trying to decide whether to go up on the resort deck or promenade. Any help would be appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueCat1105 Posted August 31, 2012 #38 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So, since we're just now thinking of taking our first Celebrity cruise, and looking at an AQ class cabin, we may be spoiled right out of the gate, eh? Sounds good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akunick1 Posted August 31, 2012 #39 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We are booked on the 14 night Canada/New England cruise on October 6th in an AQ cabin. What was the best part? (Food, service, amenities, etc?) We are really looking forward to our 1st time in AQ! ;):):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooz2Cruz Posted August 31, 2012 #40 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Can anyone tell me what size water bottles are provided in AQ? Just need to know what size cooler bag to bring for the beach. Thanx! First time in AQ and will probably be spoiled for life with Blu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird from SC Posted August 31, 2012 #41 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Having never booked aqua class, don't know anything about aqua.....Seriously, what exactly is so wonderful and special about it? Need to know from you who have experienced it. In other words, why would I want to book aqua for our next cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkat9438 Posted August 31, 2012 #42 Share Posted August 31, 2012 There are many great things about Aqua. 1. Blu. You have your own specialty dining room that is for Aqua Class only. You can dine there for a $5 charge if you are in a Suite on a space available basis. The food is different, and very good. 2. Free bottled water and flavored tea. They will start you off with 2, put those in the refrigerator and they will keep bringing more. I believe they are the 16.9 oz. size. 3. Free access to Persian Gardens and the Relaxation Room. Think heated tile loungers and saunas. Nice. 4. All the amenities of Concierge class, including the fresh flowers and sparkling wine. 5. The wonderful spa shower with the jets running down the panel. 6. Plush robes, towels, slippers, face mist, etc. Nicer bedding, pillows and balcony furniture. 7. Extra cruise credit (2 instead of 1). 8. Room service breakfast. You get an expanded menu with free fresh squeezed juices and smoothies. For most people the biggest draw is Blu.

vplsh Posted August 31, 2012 #43 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Absolutely loved AQ on Eclipse in April. Next cruise is Connie in December- no AQ so we went CC. I know we will miss Blu. Can't wait for Summit in March!! Aft deck 11 AQ!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahlerlover Posted August 31, 2012 #44 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We have been booking Concierge because of the extras. I did not read all of the responses to this thread but do the Aqua people get all of the extras of Concierge as well, ie canapes wine etc. I think the Aqua is only 10.00 more for the Summit cruise I have booked.

Rare keesar Posted August 31, 2012 #45 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The water bottles are 16.9 oz. I believe it was Italian origin. Dining in Blu is the best part of Aqua class. Food is prepared to order and comes out fresh, hot and nicely presented. It is a more quieter dining experience as there are mostly tables for 2 and people do not have to speak loudly to hear each other. The acoustics are real good.

Kevnzworld Posted August 31, 2012 #46 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I am cruising " non AQ " for the first time in October. Since I'm traveling solo this cruise I couldn't justify the additional $$$$ ( 200% single supplement ) I hope the MDR food is ok.....I'm apprehensive.

Shake Posted August 31, 2012 #47 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Aqua Class is a great addition to Celebrity. Blu is outstanding, much like going to a specialty restaurant every night. But it does have a break-even point to me based upon how much over $$$ it goes for and the amount of cruise length as compared to a Veranda. My last sailing on the Milly I only paid $100 more for Aqua, excellent value for our tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare vickykay Posted September 1, 2012 #50 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi. Does anyone have the dinner menus that they can post? We had dinner once in Blu on an early sailing of the Solstice (one of our friends knew the head waiter) and none of us enjoyed our dinners. I am sure that the menu has changed since than and from what I have read, everyone raves about it. We have a CC cabin booked on the Silhouette next March and are thinking of possibly trying Aqua class instead. Thanks everyone. Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
